Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe holidays. In the spirit of the holidays, I’ve made a conscious effort to reach out to the Morro Bay residents, especially those I was critical of during our most recent election season. I’ve also decided to formally withdraw my Fair Political Practices Commission complaint against former …
This week, I made my 2019 book Defamers: How Fake News Terrorized a Community & Those Who Dared to Fight It available for free as an electronic copy. You can download it by clicking here. I made my book free because, as of late, I’ve seen a ton of links shared to Cal Coast News …
